What is Black Joy?
From electing a nitwit into the highest seat in the Oval Office to the phenomenal headline renaming a popular festival to “Beychella”, the media is taking us on a rollercoaster ride. I hardly ever watch television anymore but that doesn’t mean that the negative reports don’t make their way into my subconscious through outlets like Facebook and instagram. None of us are immune to negative infiltration of media. It’s tough to focus on the good things happening in our communities because they are often underreported. When I was invited by the City of Oakland to attend the Black Joy Parade, I thought, “it’s about time” that we celebrate our blackness…

It was the dead of winter in NYC and I needed a quick escape. I circled around the map looking for warm destinations with cool waters.

You can create a custom blend foundation for your perfect shade by mixing two or sometimes three shades together to create one. I simply add a lighter or darker foundation shade drop by drop until I create the desired color. Seasons play a big factor in your skin’s tone. Lets face it, in the summer the sun gives…
